Lakeview Academy

Lakeview Academy is a public charter school located in Saratoga Springs, Utah, serving grades KG-9 with a total enrollment of 1,011 students. As an alternative school, it provides a unique educational experience compared to traditional public schools in the area.

Lakeview Academy appears to be a high-performing alternative school, with its students generally outperforming the state averages on RISE/ASPIRE assessments for Math, Science, and English Language Arts, particularly in the upper grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Lakeview Academy's 9th grade students are projected to score 50% proficient or better in Math and 55.9% in Science, compared to the state averages of 41% and 48%, respectively. Additionally, Lakeview Academy's performance on standardized tests is generally stronger than the other alternative schools in the area, such as Lincoln Academy and Providence Hall, suggesting that Lakeview Academy may be providing a more effective educational experience for its students.

However, Lakeview Academy has had relatively high chronic absenteeism rates over the past few years, ranging from 16.2% to 25.2%, which is notably higher than the state average of around 16-17% during the same period. This is a potential area of concern, as high chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic achievement. Additionally, Lakeview Academy has a relatively low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 7.83% to 12.27% over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the state average of around 40-50%. This suggests that the school may not be serving a socioeconomically diverse population, which could be an area for the school to explore, as diversity can enhance the educational experience for all students.
